Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:

Questions from Church Enstone
Is Church Enstone too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Church Enstone close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you do something for the children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Tell us how many children are coming
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
Plan cover in case of showers.
What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Autumn and winter parties in Church Enstone get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
